Keep Pace with Growing Business & User Demands

Managing your production environment brings change & challenge as the data in your Teradata system becomes more critical to your business.

Use Your Favorite Language

Use the language which best handles the type of question and processing you require, or combine processing methodologies within a single analytical process. Submit SQL queries to the database, or invoke Java, Perl, Ruby, Python, R or other language scripts you have installed in the database to run custom analytics. Scripts automatically run in parallel within the database and produce a set of output rows just like a native SQL query.

Structured and Multi-Structured Data

Store and analyze structured and multi-structured data in the same database engine. Deep integration provides performance, workload management, in-database analytics, and ease of administration across all data and seamless use of all data types within queries. Full breadth of structured types, XML, JSON, and weblog data are all supported for native in-database processing.

Hybrid Row/Column Data Storage

There are no silver bullets for performance. While columnar technology has been attractive, companies have shied away from columnar databases because they have lacked the capabilities businesses require.

With its elegant hybrid design, Teradata Columnar breaks through that barrier by fully integrating columnar and row-based tables within Teradata Database. This allows support of mission-critical applications which depend on advanced workload management, high availability, rich SQL, and in-database analytics.

Utilize Multiple Sources

The Teradata Unified Data Architecture (UDA) includes the specialized platforms and compute engines to support the broad array of data and analytical techniques needed by leading enterprises. Teradata QueryGrid™ enables Teradata Database to orchestrate the resources of all of the platforms in the UDA and beyond so that a single query can utilize the unique analytical capabilities of and data on any of the platforms. For example, QueryGrid: Teradata Database-to-Hadoop lets Teradata Database push analytics down to Hadoop for processing and retrieval of some data for use within a query. With its bi-directional data exchange and query push down your complete Data Fabric enabled by QueryGrid is available from within your Teradata Database integrated data warehouse.

Bulk Qualification apply row qualification in parallel and enables more data to be moved closer to the CPU. Vectorization leverages the latest Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v3 CPU parallel instruction sets, to apply operations in parallel, to increase CPU throughput and efficiency and further improve memory bandwidth.

Next Generation Temperature Weightings improve Memory Bandwidth and more closely align with Business Priorities

Teradata Labs delivers new temperature algorithms which now include weightings for Tactical, Strategic, and Logical (data referenced in-memory) I/O’s. This delivers razor sharp temperature precision which optimizes memory bandwidth and aligns performance with business needs. These new techniques are leveraged throughout Teradata’s automated multi-temperature controls in Teradata Intelligent Memory, Teradata Virtual Storage, & Compress on Cold.

Significantly increase query performance

As part of Teradata’s innovative and
comprehensive multi-temperature data management approach, Teradata Intelligent
Memory keeps the most frequently used data in-memory. This delivers an
in-memory performance boost to delivers rapid analytic processing.

Teradata Intelligent Memory,
leverages the latest advanced temperature measurement algorithms, to
automatically identify and move the most frequently used data in-memory for
faster query performance, resulting in quicker answers for better decision
making and analysis.

All Data In The Right LocationEnsure the best performance when you use your critical data and ensure you pay for the right storage for all of your data without overpaying for premium storage where not needed. Teradata Database’s multi-temperature data management automatically utilizes hybrid storage for data temperature sensitive storage and Teradata Intelligent Memory for in-memory processing of the most critical data.
